The guidelines for Windows developers kinda suck tbh. Maybe it’s better these days, but plenty of weird legacy software behaviour can be blamed on MSDN.

Sorry, no idea. I think I’ve only ever watched other people play multiplayer supcom and the few tutorials I watched were for Forged Alliance Forever. This is the kind of stuff I was watching a decade ago. Check it out if you’re into old gameplay videos with a crusty mic track. :D

If your mass storage is full, any excess is wasted, so you should always try to make sure that it is being spent on something useful. SC1/FA incentivizes a constant balancing of your economy.
You can reclaim mass from dead units (even civilians), buildings, rocks, trees etc. Trees also give a bunch of energy which can be useful very early on. A failed attack will quite often turn out to be a mass donation that gets recycled into an army for realiation. All of this might be balanced differently between the different versions of the game, so I can’t be sure that it applies all that well to base SC1 vs. FA or even FAF.
Don’t build all your energy reactors in a big cluster if you can help it. One well placed attack will blow the whole thing up in a chain reaction. On the other hand, sabotaging your opponents power grid is often a solid strategy.
If anyone is interested in FAF and wants to take a look at some different levels of gameplay, check out GyleCast on YouTube.

I remember reading a thread about this on the FaF forums and I think one of the FaF clients does run on Linux. I think this is the current method of choice, but there are multiple ways to get it working and I probably used something else years ago, so its definitely doable.

Don’t forget the Co-op variants of the old single player campaign maps FAF added.

Those are neither new games, nor new concepts. Where is the indicator that this is the future of gaming?

Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.
- Comment on Freejam studio closing with Robocraft and Robocraft 2 shutting down 1 month ago:
Robocraft 2 looked like a belated attempt to rekindle the spirit of the original before that one took a nosedive after major monetization, gameplay and matchmaking changes. Not unexpected, but still a shame.

That doesn’t explain the “luddite” part, I feel.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
It’s easy to accuse a noob of making the wrong choices when you have the experience necessary to make the right ones. There are a ton of outdated guides on the internet for every programming language. I’m almost certain there is some school kid downloading an old Borland C++ version right now, because the youtube video from 2010, regurgitating a tutorial from 2004 said so.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 3 months ago:
That’s good advice but I would add that Java really sucks at using “the type system to enforce invariants for data” and that this approach doesn’t have much to do with what most (especially Java programmers) would consider OOP. I die inside a little bit every time I need to use code generators or runtime reflection to solve a problem that really should not require it.

I use both professionally and I hate both of them for different reasons.

This looks loke something stupid, but it doesn’t really look like KKK costumes. I could understand if your point is that even a vague resemblance might be in poor taste, but “closely resembling” seems like a stretch.
- Comment on Should I be worried that my living room windows are fogging up on the outside after the weather got cooler? 5 months ago:
If anything, that implies your windows are pretty well insulated, if the outside can get cold enough for water to condense on it. Unless condensation occurs indoors, I wouldn’t worry about it.
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 5 months ago:
This type of behaviour is neither new, nor actively harmful. There’s really nothing you, I or anyone else can do to stop it, so the only remaining choice is to ignore it and not post screenshots in different communities where people agree with you.

Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?

- Comment on Sony's Neil Druckmann Interview Shows Why We Need Journalists 8 months ago:
There’s a reason for the early rise in popularity of independent gaming reviewers and it isn’t the hard-hitting, honest quality of mainstream entertainment journalism at the time. With the advent of influencers though, it feels like everyone is just regurgitating the same pre-approved, publisher-friendly nonsense. I’m sure there are exceptions, but it feels more difficult today to find an honest review when every random internet personality is signing sponsorship contracts that require them to praise the game every 20 minutes.

- Comment on Anon doesn't like any web browsers 9 months ago:
It depends on what websites you frequent. The vast majority work fine (though they are still heavily optimized for Chrome and not much else), but there are some exceptions like publishers of educational material or other websites with overzealous ideas of web based DRM. I’ve seen some banners that straight up tell you “You need to upgrade to a proper browser” and then link to the Chrome installer…

The snail has been taken over by parasitic flatworms that control it to seek out exposed spots and pulsate inside of their eye stalks to get eaten by a bird and enter the next stage of their life cycle, which they spend by living in the birds cloaca and spreading their eggs via feces.
- Comment on The System Shock remake is getting a massive patch with a revised ending, choice of female player character '8 years in the making', and a significant quality of life improvement 10 months ago:
Cloud saves work fine between Linux PCs, but the devs seem to have misconfigured the save path for Steam cloud saves integration on Windows. That’s why it doesn’t work. That’s on the devs, not the Steam client. Apparently they were working on a fix since about half a year ago, maybe they finally released that fix now?
- Comment on MFA 10 months ago:
It is kind of annoying that Steam doesn’t enable the usage of third-party OTP apps. To be fair, when they first implemented the feature, that wasn’t widely used and plenty of websites only enabled the use of one specific OTP app like Authy or Google Authenticator. They recently added a QR code login feature, which makes sense, but that still shouldn’t stop them from enabling MFA via third party OTP apps.
